After an eventful week weather-wise, it’s time for a break right? Well not really. The new week starts with a threat of some icing inland, the midweek is a watch period for a storm passing to the south, and next weekend carries the potential for another winter storm.<\/p>\n
The first system will be a low pressure area cutting through the Great Lakes Monday and early Tuesday, redeveloping over northern New England and heading into eastern Canada. Enough cold air will be around for some snow\/sleet\/freezing rain well north and west of Boston to start out around mid morning to midday Monday, but eventually these areas will transition to rain. Mainly rain will fall elsewhere. Melted precipitation amounts will be limited to generally under 1\/2 inch so that problems with roofs should be limited, since wind blew much of the snow off of them except in areas where snow was wetter (southeastern MA). Some street flooding will occur due to blocked drains. Drivers should use caution anyway as there will still be some very large snow banks and narrow streets. A gusty west wind is expected Tuesday with drier weather as broad low pressure moves through eastern Canada and exerts its influence down across the northeastern USA. At midweek, later Wednesday into Thursday, developing low pressure in the Southeast will move off the Mid Atlantic Coast. It appears this system will be too far south to impact New England but will be watched in case. Later in the week, especially next weekend, a larger scale trough is expected to move into the East and ignite storm development near the East Coast. It’s too early to tell how it will play out but there is some potential for a winter storm at that time.<\/p>\n
